Bon Air 60th Anniversary: Days Remembered

esidents of Marin created the need for consumer goods and the Schultz Co. was prepared to satisfy those needs. In 1950 construction was started on a shopping center directly across from the Greenbrae homes along Sir Francis Boulevard. Naturally, the most essential need was food, so on November 2nd, 1952, the Bon Air Super Market opened its doors with much fanfare. Located at the north end of the center, the market owned by James Kilpatrick was at the time the most modern grocery operation in Marin. Soon followed Bon Air Hardware, the Greenbrae Salon of Beauty, La Grande Laundry and Dry Cleaning, a barbershop, and John De Vries Draperies. Over the years the centrally located Bon Air Center grew and changed to meet the needs of the changing community. For many the center became a central point of the community, a place where its citizens would meet one another in the grocery aisles or at the salon. A major event was introduction of Petrinis in 1964 this was to be its first venture into the full-service grocery business. The Greenbrae store became one of the chains most successful operations. In 1985 the Center was expanded and given a major facelift. This ambitious undertaking included the addition of a Longs Drugs (now CVS/pharmacy), a quality clothing store, major restaurant, plus numerous other retail operations selected for the services they provided to the community. As times and trends changed, longtime residents still reminisce about the friendly advice pharmacist Henry Brocco would give out at their favorite

They still never ceased to be amazed at how Curly over at the hardware store could solve every household problem.

stores and a new generation of Marin residents have built an even stronger bond. Mornings draw the regulars sharing a cup of coffee, a bagel, or juice smoothie. In the afternoon, shoppers flock to friendly stores or tend to their banking needs. The evening brings diners and hungry patrons searching for a tasty treat or perfect ingredient for that nights dinner. Come to think of it, some things never change

Bon Air Center Holiday Review 2012

Yellow Diamonds Shine Through the Clouds of Winter

ellow diamonds have long been seen as rarities reserved for Royalty, but at Johann Paul their jewelers know that they are for everyone. When a white diamond has a slight yellow hue they are considered less valuable but when the body color of a diamond is deeply saturated with yellow they are incredibly beautiful and extremely valuable. Yellow diamonds are much rarer than white. There is just one of these fancy yellow diamonds for every 10,000 white diamonds mined. The yellow color is caused by nitrogen replacing carbon atoms in the diamonds structure. The more nitrogen in the stones composition the deeper the yellow and then they are called a fancy yellow diamond.
